England eager to restore dignity

February 14, 2008 00:00:00


Peter Moores says England are desperate to regain pride after clear-the-air talks following their one-day thrashing by New Zealand in Hamilton on Tuesday, reports BBC.
The tourists went 2-0 down after a 10-wicket humbling and coach Moores admits a frank discussion followed.
"The lads were good. Most people are going to front up - they have to, that's their job," he told the news agency.
"The key is how we react. They have to come back with something in Auckland that says we are a good team."
England, who lost the opener by six wickets in Wellington, collapsed from 90-2 to be bowled out for 158 in the second game.
New Zealand cantered to their rain-adjusted target of 165 in 18.1 overs to take control of the five-match series.
